Jack, and we'll both miss him terribly. | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
New images of just after the attack. As one man runs, he gets within feet | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
of a police car before he is shot. As he falls to the ground the other | :00:30. | :00:36. | |
runs forward. He, too, is shot. More details are emerging about the two | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
men. We'll bring you the latest. Also tonight: After RAF jets are | :00:40. | :00:44. | |

The family of Drummer Lee Rigby, the soldier killed in Woolwich on | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
Wednesday, have said their hearts have been ripped apart by his | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
murder. His wife, Rebecca, and stepfather, Ian Rigby, fought back | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
tears as they spoke on behalf of the 25-year-old's whole family. The two | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
men arrested after the attack remain in hospital. In a moment we'll bring | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
you more on the police investigation, but first our | :01:53. | :02:03. | |
:02:03. | :02:08. | ||
correspondent Ed Thomas on a family could brought flowers for the, not | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
far from where he was killed. The soldier, whose dream as a boy was to | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
join the army. And for seven years he served with the Royal Regiment of | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
Fusiliers, before his life was taken. And not just a British | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
soldier. He was also a father, brother, son and husband. I love | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
him, I always will, and I am proud to be his wife. He was due to come | :02:34. | :02:42. | |
up this weekend so we could continue our future together as a family. He | :02:42. | :02:49. | |
was a devoted father to our son, Jack, and we will both miss him | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
terribly. Throughout the press conference, Lee Rigby's mother held | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
the teddy he had bought for his two-year-old son. And his last | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
message to her was read out. last text he sent to his mum read, | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
good night, ma'am, I hope you had a fantastic day to day because you are | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
the most fantastic one in a million mum that anyone could ever wish for. | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
Thank you for supporting me all these years. You are not just my | :03:19. | :03:26. | |
mum, you are my best friend. Good night, I love you loads. This was | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
Lee Rigby training in Afghanistan. He also served in Cyprus and | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
Germany, before he was killed in his own country, something his family | :03:34. | :03:42. | |
cannot accept. When they are here, you think they are safe. He has | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
walked that road so many times before. In Middleton, Flowers | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
continued to arrive outside the family home. And along this street, | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
the place where Lee Rigby grew up, many neighbours are now flying the | :03:54. | :04:02. | |
flag of St George. It is their way to remember one of their own. And | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
from his sisters, Courtney, 11, and Amy who is eight, there was this | :04:06. | :04:13. | |
message. We loved you so much and you did not deserve this. You fought | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
for your country and did it well. You will always be our hero. We love | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
you. Good night. And from the whole family, a poem dedicated to the | :04:23. | :04:30. | |
Fusiliers. You fought bravely and with nerd died, you leave your | :04:30. | :04:40. | |
:04:40. | :04:43. | ||
family so full of pride -- with honour. Colleagues said Lee Rigby | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
was born soldier. His stepfather said he had toured his family and | :04:46. | :04:53. | |
they adored him. -- he adored his family. | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
As new details emerge about the two men arrested for the murder of | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
Drummer Lee Rigby, the security services are coming under scrutiny | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
about how much they knew about them before the attack. Meanwhile, as | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
Frank Gardner reports, there are dramatic new pictures showing what | :05:04. | :05:12. | |
happened when armed police arrived at the scene. Captured on a mobile | :05:12. | :05:21. | |
phone, the moment the murder suspects charged at police. Eight | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
shots were fired in all, stopping the men in their tracks. Played | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
again, you can see one man drop his knife and stop just two feet short | :05:31. | :05:39. | |
of the police in their car. Incredibly, the suspects survive, as | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
they are surrounded and searched. Shot in the legs, they are | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
recovering in hospital and are expected to be questioned by detect | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
tips. Both were known for years to the security service. Born into | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
Christian families, they are converted to a radical brand of | :05:54. | :06:01. | |
Islam. 28-year-old Michael Adebolajo frequently preached in Woolwich. | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
Until 2010 he was a member of the banned extremist group | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
Al-Muhajiroun. In 2006, he was photographed clashing with police | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
outside the Old Bailey. Less is known about the second subject, | :06:12. | :06:19. | |
Michael Adebowale, who is 22 and from Greenwich. As the searchers | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
continued today at residential addresses in London and | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
Lincolnshire, the security service, MI5, has been helping them dig deep | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
into what was known about the suspects. Critics of MI5 say that | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
surely the service should have spotted the warning signs, that at | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
least one of the Woolwich murder suspects had well-known and | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
dangerously radical ideas. But defenders of the service say there | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
are thousands of the poor in this country with similarly radical | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
ideas. There are hundreds of investigations going on, and they | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
have to prioritise and cannot be everywhere at once. They take the | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
threat assessment very seriously, looking at all the people who come | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
across their radar and judge against the evidence they have available to | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
see whether they are worth further investigation. It is a very | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
difficult judgement to make. Although police arrived soon after | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
the attack, it is clear the suspects were not placed under surveillance | :07:13. | :07:20. | |
at the time. A mistake in hindsight, but too early to know if crews were | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
missed that meant their angry views were about to turn into violent | :07:24. | :07:32. | |
action. Frank Gardner joins me now. Allegations are being made about | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
what the security services may have known about one of the men. This is | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
a damning allegation. No way of telling if it is true but it is | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
being made by somebody who in the past has proved correct. The | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
allegation is that the main chief suspect that we heard about there, | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
the holder of the two, who is currently under arrest in hospital, | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
was actually approached by MI5, the security service, and asked to spy | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
for them six months ago. And on the twitter feed, that person who has | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
put out this allegation has said they know it because he told me | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
about six months ago. That would be shocking if it is true, and it could | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
be true. It is not completely strange, because if you think about | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
it, if they are going to defeat extremism and terrorist plots, they | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
are going to need informants on the inside. This particular person | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
claims that the advance was rejected. No means of telling if it | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
is true or not but I think it will surface quite a lot in the next few | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
days, this. In Woolwich in south east London | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
where the attack took place, there are still concerns about the impact | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
on community relations following attacks on mosques in the last | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
couple of days. Today, the Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, renewed | :08:48. | :08:58. | |
:08:58. | :08:59. | ||
calls for unity. Mark Easton reports. | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
As worshippers left after Friday prayers at Greenwich mask, there was | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
condemnation and denial. Condemnation of an attack which has | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
lots -- rock to this community, and denial that either of the killers | :09:10. | :09:17. | |
was known to them. Had you ever seen them before? These two men are not | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
known in this community, have not been seen by anybody in this | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
community. These people have just come there. They may even be asked | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
whether they know this place and they do not know anyone in this | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
place. The radicalisation of the Woolwich killers is unlikely to have | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
happened in a mainstream mosque. But in a subculture of extremism often | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
focused around eight hours Matic individual. Members of the now | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
banned Islamic group, Al-Muhajiroun, once attended here but were pushed | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
out by moderates a few years ago and for a time help rare meetings at a | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
community centre a few hundred yards away. I was told by regulars at the | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
mosque that one of those arrested after yesterday's killing may have | :09:58. | :10:06. | |
prayed here once. After the attacks in 2005, Tony Blair announced some | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
controversial measures to counter radicalisation of so-called | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
home-grown terrorists. The rules of the game have changed. Many of the | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
ideas have sub can be changed, or been abandoned. -- subsequently | :10:19. | :10:27. | |
changed. What they want is for governments and authorities to over | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
react in their immediate reaction. What they want is for communities to | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
turn inwards and away from each other. There has been a spike in | :10:35. | :10:41. | |
reported attacks on Muslim targets. A man was today charged with affray | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
and two counts of possessing a weapon, after a smoke and aid was | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
allegedly thrown into this Essex mosque shortly after the killing in | :10:47. | :10:53. | |
Woolwich. The Archbishop of Canterbury met Muslim leaders today | :10:53. | :10:59. | |
and praised the calm response of UK faith groups. I want to commend | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
strongly what they are doing Longley and encourage Christian leaders more | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
widely to do the same. This is very much a time for communities to come | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
together. The vast majority of British Muslims | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
have been sickened by Wednesday's events and are horrified their | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
religion should be associated with such a barbaric act. Their prayers, | :11:21. | :11:30. | |
they say, go to the family and friends of B. -- B. | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
RAF Typhoon jets were scrambled to escort a passenger plane to Stansted | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
after the crew activated an emergency alarm. The Pakistan | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
Airlines flight from Lahore with 297 people on board was originally | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
destined for Manchester Airport. Two men have been arrested on suspicion | :11:43. | :11:49. | |
of endangering an aircraft. Tom Symonds has more. Wearing a | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
forensics suit and plastic bags on his hands to protect potential | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
evidence, this is one of the two men arrested this afternoon. Armed | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
officers stand by. The six police said the men in custody are 30 and | :12:01. | :12:09. | |
41. 308 passengers and 14 crew were on board the plane. Accounts are | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
confused. A heated argument, attempts allegedly made to get into | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
the cockpit. But it ended with an unscheduled landing at Stansted and | :12:18. | :12:26. | |
police arriving at the door of the plane. Security people came on board | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
and removed them safely. After ten minutes, we were removed from the | :12:32. | :12:39. | |
plane. Pakistan International airlines flight PK 709 had arrived | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
from Lahore and was half an hour from Manchester when the alert was | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
raised with air traffic controllers. RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
scramble jets, and the aircraft made a over north-east England, turning | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
back towards Stansted airport, where the two men were arrested. The | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
aircraft has been moved to this remote location on the edge of the | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
airport, a long way from terminal buildings. Some elderly passengers | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
have it taken off, but also an Army bomb disposal vehicle has arrived. | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
There is no indication that there is anything suspicious on board the | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
plane, but given the current climate nothing is being left to chance. | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
This evening the police said this incident was not linked to | :13:24. | :13:30. | |
terrorism. Armed police officers entered the aircraft and arrested | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
two suspects on suspicion of endangerment of aircraft. This is | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
being treated as a criminal offence and remains under the direction of | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
Essex police. The passengers are expecting to get back on board the | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
plane later tonight. Riot police are on stand-by in the | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
Swedish capital after five nights of rioting across the city. Youths, | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
many asylum seekers, have been setting cars and buildings on fire, | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
angry about rising unemployment and social exclusion. In a country | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
renowned for its openness and tolerance, the rioting has raised | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
questions about how successful attempts to integrate immigrants | :13:59. | :14:09. | |
:14:09. | :14:15. | ||
have been. From Stockholm, Stephen Evans reports. Police and young men | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
fight a running battle on the streets of Stockholm. | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
As nearly a week of riots has gone on, trouble has spread across the | :14:23. | :14:32. | |
country. Cars have been torched. Local people watched as a school was | :14:32. | :14:38. | |
burnt. Windows of a library were smashed. In the cold light of day, | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
David and Mustapha showed me around their troubled neighbourhood. | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
have a much more rough society here in Sweden, with very much | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
unemployment, lack of good education and public schools. People can't | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
afford to live a decent life. once had a reputation as an easy | :14:57. | :15:03. | |
country of equality and warrants. But the riots have sparked a debate | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
will stop a party of the far right has called for a curfew. The | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
minister in charge warned against getting tough on immigrants. Don't | :15:13. | :15:23. | |
:15:23. | :15:23. | ||
blame this on immigration. Don't let a few people throwing stones | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
represent the percentage of Swedish people born abroad. That is a | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
slippery slope. This is where it started. I have to say to you that | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
there are rough areas in Europe than this. But here, they say they are | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
pressured economically. The big question is, are these riots just | :15:42. | :15:49. | |
bored boys making trouble, or is there something deeper going on? | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
Sweden has welcomed asylum seekers from war zones. But the gap between | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
rich and poor has widened faster here than any other industrial | :15:56. | :16:06. | |
:16:06. | :16:11. | ||
country. These mothers say their sons feel marginalised. They feel | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
left out, they feel outside. They feel their words are not being | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
heard. Police are on high alert tonight, with extra officers called | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
in. Sweden used to seem like a model of harmony. Riots have shattered | :16:25. | :16:31. | |
that image. The High Court has ruled that the | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
wife of the Speaker of the House of Commons, Sally Bercow, is guilty of | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
libelling Lord McAlpine. Mrs burka sent a defamatory tweet after BBC | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
Newsnight wrongly linked to the former Conservative Party treasurer | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
with child sex abuse last year. Mrs burka says she is surprised and | :16:47. | :16:54. | |
disappointed. -- Mrs Bercow. She is the Speaker's | :16:54. | :16:59. | |
wife who likes speaking out herself. Here is to speaking out, even if it | :16:59. | :17:07. | |
can get you into trouble. And it did. This was one of her tweet is. | :17:07. | :17:13. | |
This tweet led to a defamation battle. Sally Bercow treated two | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
days after the Newsnight programme into child abuse at a children's | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
home in the 1980s logic used a senior politician from the Thatcher | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
years of involvement. That led to furious speculation, which wrongly | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
implicated Lord McAlpine. This is not the first defamation case to be | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
fought over a tweet, and it will not be the last. But it illustrates an | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
important modern truth. Publication is publication, whether it is | :17:41. | :17:47. | |
confined to a bite-size 140 character tweet, or whether it is in | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
a carefully considered newspaper article. Lord McAlpine pursued those | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
who had mentioned his name on the internet. Wanting to avoid stressful | :17:54. | :18:00. | |
litigation, you made an offer to Sally Bercow. He is a very ill man, | :18:01. | :18:10. | |
and he has been put through hell and back. And for her to "try her luck" | :18:10. | :18:18. | |
in the court and then take an offer that was designed to courage -- | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
encourage early settlement. Today the court found Sally Bercow's tweet | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
was defamatory and had meant directly or implied that Lord | :18:25. | :18:35. | |
:18:35. | :18:46. | ||
she has agreed to pay damages. She has not tweeted today. | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
The number of people taking part in medical research in England has | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
trebled in five years. Clinical trials play a vital role in helping | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
create and test new treatments for diseases. In 2008, some 208,000 | :18:59. | :19:05. | |
patients to part in trials. At this year 's figures show the number | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
shooting up to nearly 638,000 patients. There have in similar | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
increases across the whole of the UK, so why are more people | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
volunteering to take part? Without them, new medicines would | :19:19. | :19:26. | |
never be created. Volunteers like Amy. She is on a new typhoid vaccine | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
trial at Oxford University. All those on the trial which we followed | :19:30. | :19:36. | |
for 18 months, also run the risk of getting infected with typhoid. | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
Inside this solution are around 10,000 typhoid back here, and all | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
the volunteers like Gary have to do is drink it. The point is to see | :19:44. | :19:50. | |
whether those who receive the new vaccine protect it. -- are protect | :19:50. | :20:00. | |
:20:00. | :20:00. | ||
it. Gary does get typhoid. important thing is to keep an eye on | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
your temperature. In a previous trial, he contracted malaria. He | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
gets paid for taking part, but doesn't he worry about safety? | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
trials are designed to present minimal risk, so I don't see that | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
there is any worry. You just get sick for a bit. You get a couple of | :20:18. | :20:23. | |
days off work. No one can argue if you have typhoid. Mention medical | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
volunteers, and it brings to mind the disastrous private trial at | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
Northwood Park Hospital, when six men became dangerously ill. It did | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
not deter volunteers. In fact, most of those on trials are patients | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
testing medicines to treat their illness. So why have the numbers | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
Lord? Partly, more money for research, but also a change of | :20:45. | :20:54. | |
ethos. Research is now integrated into NHS treatment. We put 15-20% of | :20:54. | :21:00. | |
patients into studies and trials. In the states, they only manage 2-3%. | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
So we have managed to get through to our public to explain to them the | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
advantages of joining in clinical research. The Oxford vaccine trial | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
to benefit people in countries like Nepal, where typhoid is rife and | :21:14. | :21:20. | |
spreading dirty water. We are trying to develop life-saving vaccines | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
which means preventing children dying, particularly in the | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
developing world. So volunteers who come forward for trials are saving | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
the lives of children. And the NHS wants to recruit even more medical | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
volunteers come the unsung heroes of healthcare. | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
Passengers on board a British Airways flight had a nasty scare | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
after their plane was forced to make an emergency landing at Heathrow. | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
Like smoke was seen coming from an engine which was reportedly on fire. | :21:48. | :21:54. | |
-- black smoke. There can't be many more frightening | :21:54. | :22:00. | |
sites than this if you are flying on a plane. This film was taken by a | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
passenger. The casing has been ripped off the left-hand engine, the | :22:04. | :22:11. | |
insides exposed. Then comes the unnerving landing. And the escape | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
down the emergency chute. Some couldn't resist looking back at the | :22:15. | :22:23. | |
damage. John Chaplin was on board. As the plane gained speed, it | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
started to flap and lived a bit more. At the moment of takeoff, we | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
were a couple of metres in the air, it broke off and hit the fuselage. | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
It made a loud noise. One of the biggest concerns is the fact that | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
both engines had problems. Here, the right-hand side is clearly on fire | :22:40. | :22:46. | |
will stop this aeroplane can fly safely on one engine, but losing | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
power in both could be catastrophic. What is not in doubt today is the | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
skill of the pilots. They landed and then managed to do extra bits of | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
working out which way the wind was coming so that they could turn the | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
aeroplane once they had landed so that any fire blew away from the | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
aeroplane and passengers. Investigators will now be looking at | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
everything from a bird strike to maintenance problems as possible | :23:12. | :23:19. | |
causes. And the knock-on effect for the Bank Holiday Monday - long | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
delays and nearly 200 cancelled flights. | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
The BBC has announced that it has cancelled an IT project that | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
spending nearly �100 million on it over five years. The project was | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
intended to give staff easier access to the BBC's vast archives of | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
material. The director-general, Tony Hall, said it was better to close | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
the project than waste more money trying to develop it further. | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
It was the BBC's bold plan to transform the way it made | :23:48. | :23:54. | |
programmes. Technologists dream of a digital production utopia. There is | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
little film on the Digital Media Initiative, which promised staff a | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
new way of working. But that promise has failed to materialise, and it | :24:03. | :24:09. | |
has now been scrapped. Everybody at the BBC is mortified about this. We | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
have had to close this project down and there has been a huge waste of | :24:13. | :24:19. | |
money. What was the idea behind this scheme? The ambition was to do away | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
with these things, tapes. The BBC has millions of them. Instead, | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
everything would be stored and processed digitally. You could | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
create anything you wanted from your desktop. Sounds simple. It didn't | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
work. It has been outpaced by changing technology. The man in | :24:36. | :24:42. | |
charge was today suspended, pending an investigation full is up but it | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
had been in trouble long before his arrival. It is yet another | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
depressing incident of one a public sector IT project fails. The BBC | :24:51. | :25:01. | |
says it is mortified. DMI, 676,000 licence fees lost. | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
He was one of the biggest stars of the London Paralympics on the 100 | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
metres. Now gold medallist Jonnie Peacock is set to make his return to | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
racing. Since the current bits, he has undergone an ankle operation and | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
replaced his running blade and coach. Tomorrow, he will line up for | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
his first race since September at the Great City Games in Manchester. | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
It was one of London's loudest moments. 80,000, chanting one name. | :25:28. | :25:35. | |
Peacock! Peacock, Jonnie Peacock. He sounded like a superstar, and | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
certainly run like one. The blonde bombshell who blazed to Paralympic | :25:38. | :25:48. | |
glory. He had just run the defining race of the entire games at 19. How | :25:48. | :25:53. | |
do you follow that? By having an ankle operation, a new running blade | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
and now, eight months on, a comeback. But after so much | :25:57. | :26:03. | |
disruption, it is a step into the unknown. It is kind of excited, but | :26:03. | :26:09. | |
anxious to know what shape I am in. Eight months on, does it all seem a | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
bit of a green? What sticks in your mind from that time? It is | :26:13. | :26:19. | |
definitely a dream. For me, the feeling of crossing the line and | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
being so excited and scared at the same time about whether it actually | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
happened. It was unreal. Among those he beat, Oscar Pistorius, but his | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
murder trial has left Paralympic sport looking for a new marquee | :26:33. | :26:39. | |
name. The cock is one of the star attractions at tomorrow's Great City | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
Games in Manchester, a sign, he believes, of changing times. -- | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
People. I would never have thought a year ago that someone from the | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
Paralympics would be this recognisable. It is a big relief to | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
see how the sport has progressed. Some believe he could now transcend | :26:57. | :27:03. | |
his sport like no other. For now, Peacock is just back -- lad to be | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
back in the blocks, but this summer he could also become world champion | :27:07. | :27:12. | |
and perhaps the new face of Paralympic sport. | :27:12. | :27:15. |
